Appointment confirmation
Have your scheduling confirmation or permit available in the format the provider allows. Confirm whether printed or electronic copies are accepted; needs_review.
Test-center logistics
Confirm address, arrival time, parking or transit, and check-in location. Plan a backup route and arrive with buffer time.
Candidate rules and attestation
Read the current ABP and test-provider rules before exam day, including security and conduct policies. Confirm any attestation you must sign; needs_review.

Interface practice
Use any official tutorial or sample interface the provider offers to learn navigation, flagging, and calculator tools. Confirm availability; needs_review.
Content outline review
Review the official exam blueprint and high-yield transplant hepatology domains. Stop heavy new learning 24 hours before the exam.
Emergency contacts
Save the provider contact, test-center phone number, and a personal emergency contact. Confirm the provider's day-of contact channel; needs_review.
Plan the day
Confirm appointment details, ID name match, test-center address and arrival time, and current rules with ABP or the test provider. Take the official tutorial if available. Review weak areas with spaced practice and protect sleep.
Pack ID, confirmation, snack and water if allowed, and layers. Lay out clothes. Confirm route and backup transportation. Do only light content review and stop by evening. Set two alarms.
Eat a normal meal. Arrive at the provider's required time with buffer. Bring only approved items and store prohibited items as instructed. Check in and follow proctor directions.
Complete the tutorial. Read each stem fully, note key qualifiers, and manage your pace. Use flag-and-review if available. Take allowed breaks only after asking the proctor. Report technical issues immediately.
Rules to check
Bring valid government-issued photo ID; the name must match your registration. Confirm accepted ID forms and name-change rules with the provider; needs_review.
Do not bring phones, smartwatches, notes, or unauthorized study materials into the secure testing area. Confirm storage and prohibited-item rules before arrival; needs_review.
Follow all test-administrator instructions. Unauthorized behavior, communication, or materials can lead to dismissal or score invalidation.
Confirm break policy in advance: whether breaks are scheduled or optional, whether the clock stops, and how to request one. Raise your hand and wait for the proctor.
Confirm scoring and reporting with ABP. Do not assume immediate pass or fail results at the center; follow the official reporting timeline.
Arrive by the required check-in time. Late arrival may result in lost seat time or denial of entry; confirm the provider's grace period; needs_review.
If equipment fails or the interface freezes, stop and notify the proctor immediately; do not attempt repairs yourself.
